The tape and compound is a solid structure and not flexible so if the crack
beneath it moves it will transfer this movement to the tape and compound,
which is bonded to the original drywall, and cause it to crack.

I use a 90 min. dry mix with some drywall glue. I dig out atleast 1/4
inch. the glue gives it flexability. no tape involved. its harder to
wash down with a sponge or grit.. but works great. ask around about it.

If after the first application you find the tape has not adhered
completely, or there are a few bubbles behind, can you just go over with
the second layer to completely cover or need to pull off the tape and start
over? My cracks are very difficult, on ceiling where the cracks are a
little lower than the surrounding area – the tape sits on a slight ridge so
none of the compound is completely smooth. Thanks

I have a crack that is running along a ceiling about 1/4 inch away from
the edge where the ceiling meets the wall. How do I repair that? I have
scraped away the cracked drywall and in the past I would have used spackle
and do multiple coats and sand and paint but I was wondering if there was a
better way. Thank you for your help!!

That’s a lot of mud for a tiny crack because of the need to hide the tape
edges. Wouldn’t it be better to rebate the drywall around the crack – say a
few mm deep either side of the crack, THEN tape the crack in its new
channel. Then you just need to mud up the channel, rather than feather
multiple additional feet either side. Any problems with that idea?
